THANK YOU.

>>> GOOD EVENING AND THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I AM MAYA TRABULSI.

HOW MUCH SHOULD LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT FEDERAL AGENTS AND DEPORTATION SWEEPS?

THAT IS A QUESTION THE EL CAJON CITY COUNCIL IS GRAPPLING WITH TODAY.

KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL IS LIVE AT EL CAJON CITY HALL WHERE THE COUNCIL HAS A BIG DECISION TO MAKE THIS AFTERNOON.

I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE PERCEIVED CONFLICT BETWEEN FEDERAL AND STATE LAW.

>> Reporter: YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

LET ME DO A LITTLE SCENE SETTER FOR YOU.

WHERE OUTSIDE THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS AN OVERFLOW CROWD OUT HERE.

IT IS REALLY PACKED.

WE WILL SHOW IN A SECOND AS YOU WERE SAYING THAT IS CORRECT.

IT WAS BACK IN DECEMBER EL CAJON MAYOR BILL WELLS AND COUNCILMAN PHIL ORTIZ PUT AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA SEEKING CLARIFICATION FROM STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON HOW TO BOTH FOLLOW FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAW AND NOT TO RUN A FOUL OF CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 54.

THAT LAW BASICALLY FOR BIDS LOCAL POLICE FROM COOPERATING WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES AND IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

TAKE A LOOK INSIDE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE INSIDE THE EL CAJON CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS.

IT IS PACKED THIS AFTERNOON.

PACKED TO THE RAFTERS.

SOME COUNCILMEMBERS WANTED TO REVISE THE REQUEST SO NOW CITY STAFF HAS COME BACK WITH TWO OPTIONS.

ONE IS TO JUST WAIT AND HOPE FEDERAL AND STATE AUTHORITIES WORK OUT ANY INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN STATE AND FEDERAL LAW.

THE OTHER WOULD RESULT IN A RESOLUTION THAT SEEKS ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION FROM STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS ON THE INCONSISTENCIES IN THEIR RESPECTIVE IMMIGRATION LAWS AND POLICIES.

THE CITY'S INTENT RATHER SHOULD ALSO DECLARE THE CITY'S INTENT TO ENSURE THE PUBLIC SAFETY OF ALL RESIDENTS AND IT ASSERTS THE CITY'S INTENT TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAW THAT THE LEGAL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER SB 54 AND OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS TO REMOVE VIOLENT CRIMINALS FROM THE COMMUNITY.

BEFORE THE MEETING I SPOKE WITH THE EL CAJON MAYOR.

HE SAYS THE RESOLUTION ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION IS NEEDED.

HE SAYS HE CONVEYED THAT TO THE NEW BORDERS ARE.

WE WILL HEAR FROM HIM FIRST.

THEN YOU WILL HEAR FROM A NATIVE.

SHE SAYS IT'S ALREADY MADE ITS POSITION CLEAR.

>> YOU CAN'T ASK US TO GO AGAINST THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN SOME WAY.

I WANT YOU TO COME BACK WITH A PLAN TO ALLOW US TO BE FOLLOWING THE RULE OF LAW BUT ALSO NOT PUT OUR EMPLOYEE AND CITY IN HARM'S WAY.

>> WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE ON CITY COUNCIL GOING AGAINST EVEN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS THAT WILL NOT PARTAKE IN THIS BECAUSE OF THEIR CHIEF OF POLICE IT INTERRUPTS THE COURSE OF A HAPPY ENVIRONMENT.

WE ARE ALL WORKING AND LIVING TOGETHER, WE DO NOT NEED TO GIVE MORE WORK TO OUR OFFICERS IN EL CAJON AND THE MAYOR HAS NO RIGHT TO TRY TO CREATE THIS HATE.

>> Reporter: PUBLIC TESTIMONY AT ABOUT 3:30 THERE WERE 81 PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS MEASURE AND THAT MAY HAVE VERY WELL RISEN SINCE THEN.

YOU DO THE MATH, THEY ARE GOING TO BE HERE FOR A WHILE INTO THE EVENING.

I WILL GO BACK IN THERE AND GIVE HER MY CARD AND MAKE SURE THAT WE FIND OUT WHATEVER THEY DECIDE AND THEN WE WILL CONVEY THAT TO YOU ON KPBS.ORG.

LIFE TONIGHT IN EL CAJON, JOHN CARROLL , KPBS NEWS.

>>> AN INCREASE OF IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE IS MAKING SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS NERVOUS AND FEARFUL.

LEADERS ARE LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE ON HOW TO RESPOND TO MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION SHARING THEIR CONCERNS.

KPBS REPORTER TANIA THORNE HAS MORE.

>> WE JUST LEFT THE ESCONDIDO POLICE DEPARTMENT WHERE LEADERS HELD A MEETING WITH POLICE CAPTAINS TO ADDRESS SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS.

THIS IS A MEETING THAT HAPPENS EVERY MONTH BUT TODAY'S TOPIC WAS ON IMMIGRATION AND THE ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS HAPPENING THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES.

FAITH LEADERS SAID THEIR CONGREGATIONS ARE EXPRESSING FEAR AND THAT WAS EVIDENT IN THE DROP OF ATTENDANCE SOME EXPERIENCED THIS PAST SUNDAY.

WE SPOKE TO THE PASTOR OF VICTORY OUTREACH CHURCH.

>> WITH ALL THE STUFF GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY AND NATION SOME OF THE CONGREGATIONS, NOT ALL, BUT SOME ARE FEELING THAT MAYBE THE STRESS, MAYBE EVEN THE FEAR FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH IMMIGRATION AND SOME OF THE PASTORS HAVE REALLY SEEN THAT COME TO PLAY THIS SUNDAY WITH SOME PEOPLE WE ARE MISSING FROM CHURCH THAT DIDN'T WANT TO GO BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OR MISS INFORMATION THAT'S OUT THERE ALSO.

>> ALONG WITH THE FAITH LEADERS IN ATTENDANCE WANTED CLARIFICATION FROM THE ESCONDIDO POLICE DEPARTMENT ON THEIR ROLE AND HOW TO RESPOND TO THEIR COMMUNITIES.

>> THE POLICE MADE IT VERY CLEAR THEY ARE FOLLOWING WHAT CALIFORNIA LAW IS.

THEY ARE NOT WORKING WITH IMMIGRATION HERE IN ESCONDIDO.

THEY CANNOT SPEAK FOR OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, BUT CERTAINLY HERE IN ESCONDIDO THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON.

I PERSONALLY SPOKE WITH THE CHIEF YESTERDAY AND THAT WAS THE MESSAGE I RECEIVED ALSO.

>> THAT WAS ESCONDIDO COUNCILMEMBER JOE GARCIA.

HE SAID THE CITY AND POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL BE ISSUING A STATEMENT TO SET THE RECORD CLEAR ON THEIR ROLE DURING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

THE POLICE CAPTAIN SAID THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OR NOTIFICATION OF FEDERAL OPERATIONS HAPPENING IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

THE BIGGEST TAKE AWAY FROM THIS MEETING WAS CITY LEADERS AND POLICE OFFICERS OFFERING THEMSELVES TO THESE FAITH LEADERS TO COME AND SPEAK TO THEIR CONGREGATIONS DIRECTLY ABOUT WHAT THEIR ROLES ARE AND OFFER SOME REASSURANCE AND RESOURCES DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES.

THIS IS ALSO AN EFFORT TO HELP STOP THE SPREAD OF MISINFORMATION THAT OFTEN MOVES QUICKLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

LIVE FROM THE NORTH COUNTY BUREAU, TANIA THORNE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> WE WILL BE DROPPING DOWN TO BELOW 50'S AND SAN DIEGO.

WE WILL HAVE A FEW SHOWERS IN PLACE BUT OVERALL NOT A WASHOUT.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR THE WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS A SWEEPING FREEZE OF FEDERAL FUNDING AS QUESTIONS FOR IN ABOUT WHICH PROGRAMS ARE AFFECTED.

THAT'S AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> FIREFIGHTERS SAY THEY ARE NEARING CONTAINMENT OF THE BORDER TO FIRE CONTINUES TODAY.

>>> ACCORDING TO A STUDY, NEARLY HALF OF SAN DIEGO'S RENT THEIR HOMES WITH ALL THE RECENT WILDFIRES IN THE AREA KPBS REPORTER MELISSA TELLS US WHAT RIGHTS RENTERS HAVE IF THEY LOSE THEIR HOME TO WILDFIRE.

>> THIS MONTH ALONE THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL WILDFIRES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

THE SAN DIEGO FIRE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE CONFIRMS THAT THERE WERE NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IS REPORTED IN THE BERNARDO OR GILMAN FIRES, BUT ONE UNIT AND ONE APARTMENT BUILDING WAS DESTROYED IN THE FRIARS FIRE.

WITH LEGAL AID SOCIETY OF SAN DIEGO SAYS THE FIRST THING A RENTER SHOULD DO IF THEIR HOME IS AFFECTED BY A NATURAL DISASTER LIKE WILDFIRE IS CONTACT THE LANDLORD.

>> CHECK IN WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND CODE ENFORCEMENT ON WHETHER IT'S SAFE TO GO BACK INTO THE PROPERTY DEPENDING ON THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.

IT'LL BE A GOOD FIRST STEP.

>> IF A HOME IS UNINHABITABLE DUE TO WILDFIRE THEY ARE UNDER CONTRACT LAW THE LEASE AGREEMENT NO LONGER EXISTS.

>> THAT COULD MEAN THE CONTRACT IS ESSENTIALLY AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATED BECAUSE THE PROPERTIES COMPLETELY DESTROYED.

THAT WOULD RELIEVE THE TENANT OF THEIR RIGHT -- THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY RENT AND THE LANDLORD THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE HOUSING.

>> THIS MEANS A LANDLORD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REHOMING YOU, BUT SAYS YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A PRORATED AMOUNT OF RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT.

>> WHAT SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THEM IN FULL EXCEPT MAYBE IF THEY OWED ANY RENT OR FEES FROM A PRIOR PERIOD BUT IT SHOULD NOT RETAIN ANY SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE FIRE.

>> CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER TONY SAYS IF YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY IS EVEN PARTIALLY DAMAGED DUE TO WILDFIRE THEN YOU SHOULD FILE A CLAIM WITH YOUR RENTERS INSURANCE COMPANY.

>> LET THEM TAKE A LOOK.

EVALUATE WHETHER THERE IS A CLAIM HERE FOR REMEDIATION TO A LARGER DEGREE.

>> MOST RENTERS INSURANCE COVERAGE APPLIES TO PERSONAL PROPERTY, BUT IT ALSO MAY COVER OTHER EXPENSES.

>> IT WILL PAY FOR ADDITIONAL LIVING EXPENSES TO RELOCATE YOU FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.

IT COULD BE, IN SOME CASES, UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS REBUILT.

>> RENTERS WITH ANY LEGAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR HOMES BEING DESTROYED BY WILDFIRE CAN REACH OUT TO LEGAL AID SOCIETY OF SAN DIEGO AT LAS SD.ORG.

MELISSA MAE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IF YOU LIVE IN THE PARADISE HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD OF SOUTHEAST SAN DIEGO YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THIS LEGENDARY ART WALL FROM THE 1990S.

FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS NOW, IT'S BEEN VACANT BUT LATE LAST YEAR THREE HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS REUNITED TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE.

>> THE WALL AT THE TOP OF DIVISION STREET RIGHT WHERE IT CURVES UPWARDS DOWN INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN PARADISE HILLS.

IT'S KIND OF TUCKED AWAY BEHIND A BIG CONCRETE FUMBLE ACROSS THE STREET FROM A CHURCH.

FOR DECADES IT WAS A BLANK AND DUSTY GRAY.

IF YOU ARE NOT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD YOU MIGHT'VE MISSED IT.

TODAY THE WALL IS BRIGHT AND COLORFUL.

>> THE VEGETABLES WE PAINTED HERE ARE STAPLES OF THE DIET.

>> SHE POINTS TO THE BRAND-NEW MURAL THERE NOW.

>> WE GOT THE SQUASH, WE GOT THE EGGPLANT, THEY ARE ALL FRUITS.

VEGETABLES THAT FILIPINOS USING COOKING.

>> AN ARTIST WHO GREW UP IN PARADISE HILLS.

HE SPENT WEEKS PAINTING THIS MEMO WITH TWO FRIENDS.

HE CHOSE TRADITIONAL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND THE CRIMSON FLAG OF THE UNITED FARM WORKERS UNION, AND ON MARCH TO THE STRIKES OF THE 1960S.

AT THE CENTER IS A SAYING.

>> IT LITERALLY TRANSLATES TO ONE DOWN MEANING IF ONE OF US IS DOWN THAT MEANS WE ARE ALL DOWN.

IF ONE OF US IS UP ALL OF US ARE UP.

REPRESENTING A REAL COMMUNAL SPIRIT.

>> IS THE FIRST TIME THERE'S BEEN A MURAL HERE IN 30 YEARS.

BACK IN THE 90s HE SAYS HE AND HIS FRIENDS USED IT PAINT THIS WELL ALL THE TIME.

THEY WERE GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL DOWN THE STREET.

>> THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS DIFFERENT.

IT WAS CRAZIER.

THE UPSTART OF GANGS AND DRUGS.

>> PARADISE HILLS WAS A REDLINE NEIGHBORHOOD, A BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITY SYSTEMATICALLY DISINTERESTED.

IT WAS HOME TO A BIG FILIPINO COMMUNITY WHICH HE AND HIS FRIENDS WERE PART OF.

HE SAYS THEIR IMMIGRANT PARENTS WERE THINKING OF ENROLLING THEM IN SOCCER OR OTHER ACTIVITIES, INSTEAD THEY TURNED TO ART.

>> GRAFFITI.

IT WAS ALL BRAND-NEW.

BEING A KID AND SEEING THAT, IT WAS FRESH.

I WAS LIKE, I WANT TO DO THAT.

>> HE AND HIS FRIEND STARTED LOOKING FOR SPOTS TO PAINT.

IN PARADISE HILLS THERE WERE A FEW.

SOME PLACES TOWARD SPRING VALLEY, THE OLD CIRCLE K LIQUOR STORE AND THEN THE WALL.

AT THE TOP OF DIVISION STREET.

>> THIS WAS KIND OF AT THE CENTER.

>> HE'S LIKE A COUSIN.

>> THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN STREETS OFF THE MAIN FREEWAYS AND TO GET INTO PARADISE HILLS YOU HAVE TO GO DOWN THE STREET TO GET INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

EVERYBODY WAS COMING IN AND OUT OF THIS PASSAGEWAY.

SEEING THIS WALL EVERY DAY THEY WOULD GO TO WORK AND GO TO SCHOOL AND ALL THAT.

>> THEY GIVE THEMSELVES A CREW NAME.

JVC.

MOST EVERY MONTH THEY PUT UP A NEW MURAL ON DIVISION STREET AND PAINTED CARTOON CHARACTERS, MESSAGES AND PORTRAITS OF FRIENDS WHO PASSED AWAY.

WHEN RIVAL CREWS DIDN'T APPROVE THEY WOULD COME PAINT OVER THEIR WORK.

>> THIS WAS LIKE OUR SOCIAL MEDIA.

>> IN A SENSE HE WAS THE THIRD MEMBER.

THEIR WORK WAS STARTING TO GET ATTENTION.

>> WE WERE ABLE TO BROADCAST OUR POST BUT THROUGH ARTWORK.

TO THE COMMUNITY.

A LOT OF THE FELLOW WRITERS OUT THERE AT THE TIME, THEY WOULD TAKE NOTICE.

>> OTHERS WERE TAKING NOTICE, INCLUDING THE COPS.

IN 1993 THEY LAUNCHED A MAJOR STING OPERATION TARGETING GRAFFITI ARTISTS ACROSS SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

OFFICERS POSED AS HOLLY HOLLYWOOD PRODUCER WORKING ON A DOCUMENTARY.

THEY ARRESTED 37 PEOPLE INCLUDING HIM WHO GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL.

THEY TRIED TO KEEP PAINTING AFTER THAT BUT SOON THEY GRADUATED TWO.

LICUDAN WENT TO ART SCHOOL IN SAN FRANCISCO AND INOCENIO HAD TO GO TO COURT AND COMMUNITY SERVICE AND EVENTUALLY BECAME AN ART TEACHER.

BACK ON DIVISION STREET THE WALL WAS EMPTY.

EVEN ON DUTY, HE KEPT DRAWING MAKING SKETCHES ON PRINTER PAPER AND SCANNING THEM ONTO A COMPUTER WHEN HE GOT THE CHANCE.

FINALLY, AFTER DECADES AWAY FROM HOME HE GOT ORDERS BACK TO SAN DIEGO.

>> I'M HITTING UP THE OLD CREW AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE GLORY DAYS OR JUST CATCHING UP AND ALL OF US STILL, IT'S A PART OF US.

WE ARE ARTISTS IN CERTAIN WAYS AND TALKING ABOUT WE SHOULD ONE DAY COME BACK TO THIS.

>> THE WALL ON DIVISION STREET.

LAST YEAR THEY GOT TOGETHER WITH OLD FRIENDS AND BEGAN PLANNING SOMETHING NEW.

IN EARLY OCTOBER THE THREE OF THEM STARTED PAINTING.

NOW THERE'S A NEW MURAL ON DIVISION STREET, BUT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE SEAMS THEY USED TO PAINT.

THIS IS FOCUSED ON HONORING THE HISTORY OF FILIPINO CULTURE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> THIS TIME WE ARE GROWN UP, MORE MATURE.

WE WANT TO REFLECT WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD MESSAGE TO SHARE WITH THE COMMUNITY?

>> THEY DIDN'T SIGN IT.

THEY WANTED THE FOCUS ON THE MESSAGE NOT ON THEMSELVES.

IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER THEY DID STENCIL THE LETTERS OF THEIR OLD CREW, JVC.

>> DOESN'T STAND FOR SOMETHING?

>> BACK IN THE DAY WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER IT WAS THE JUVENILE VANDAL CREW.

RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT STANDS FOR NOW.

>> A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THE 90s.

THE CREW, THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SOME THINGS ARE STILL THE SAME LIKE AN OLD BRICK WALL, LIKE A GROUP OF CHILDHOOD FRIENDS STILL TRYING TO MAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD A LITTLE MORE BEAUTIFUL.

KORI SUZUKI, KPBS NEWS.
